  • Stem cell-derived hepatocytes in co-culture and uses thereof
    Patent number: 10717966
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides co-cultures of human pluripotent stem cell derived hepatocytes and at least one non-parenchymal cell population in vitro, methods of preparing the co-cultures and methods of using the co-cultures for high throughput screening and evaluation of drug candidates. The stem cell derived hepatocyte co-culture system provides an in vitro model in which cell viability and relatively mature hepatocyte phenotype of stem cell derived hepatocytes are maintained for extended periods relative to conventional monoculture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 21, 2020
    Assignee: COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION
